Mountain Child Lyrics - Singles - Nora Jane Struthers

Her hair was tangled; her clothes were torn 

No pride left to protect 

Her mama's last hope; brothers and sisters at home 

Praying she brings them back some bread 

Woah, Woah 

Like a law man hunting down a thief 

She was looking for her daddy 

Her desperate eyes searched each man's face 

But lord, they came up empty

Woah, Woah 

You could tell from the red clay on her shoes 

She was from down in the holler 

A mountain child born to lose 

Down in that holler 

The bar man signaled, slowly she crossed the room 

He leaned in and whispered low 

Without one word she turned and climbed the back stairs 

Just like I did so many years ago 

Woah, Woah 

Woah, Woah
